Re: Kstat... what happened?

Toronto's reserves outscored Detroit's backups 30-8. The Pistons' reserves scored only six points in their season-opening win on Tuesday.

HHHmmmm...

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
I'm (maybe) back after being repetedly banned, merely for supporting a different NFL team than do certain forum moderators.

Re: Kstat... what happened?

Actually I know why Detroit lost: (1) lack of bench production, (2) Gar Heard not knowing how to call a timeout, (3) Rasheed having a subpar game, (4) not having Corliss who usually kills the Raps, (5) Chauncey and Rip turning it over, (6) poor FT shooting, 14-24? or something like that.

But Toronto will surprise. They are not a pushover anymore. Lot of talent between VC, Bosh, Marshall, Rose, etc... they finally found the right guy in Alston to put it all together.

I have to agree with all of those.

Gar Heard is a complete Moron. He has no freaking clue how to coach a game. Carlos Delfino is by FAR our best backup guard, and he played like 6 minutes. I'm sending Larry Brown 3 or 4 get well cards tomorrow.

That, and every team is going to bring their A game vs Detroit this year. It reminds me of 1990, when the LA Clippers beat us down TWICE. Not because they were good, but because out of all the NBA teams, they were satisfied with just beating us once.

The way the Raptors shot the ball tonight, the 96 Bulls couldnt have beaten them. They took some REALLY bad shots, but all of them just kept going in. I doubt the Raptors will win 40 games, because its not often you're going to win EXCLUSIVELY shooting 20-footers. I dont think Toronto had one post up the entire night. EVentually, that will cost them.

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Re: Kstat... what happened?

As side notes. The Piston defense definately isn't in mid-season form just yet and whoever came up with the brigth idea of sending all the back-ups in at once (LB did it in the 1st game and Gar did it against Toronto) should be shot. Thankfully, GH did not repeat that mistake against Philly tonight.
